A friend at work says he has a BBK intake (upper and lower) off of an early model ford lightning 5.8. Will that work on my 5.0 HO and what would benefit from this (high end power, low end torque, turn your engine into a turd.....)

My friend said that intake would work with gt-40p heads. Any truth to this? I plan on an aftermarket cam after I get the intake and heads upgraded to something a little nicer, I was thinking gt-40p heads and "cobra" intake off an explorer.

The 5.8 has a taller deck height. Which means the heads are farther apart. So the lower intake is wider than a 5.0. It will not fit physically. That is why it won't work. Idk enough about bbk uppers to say what lowers it would work with, other than a bbk lower for a 5.0 I assume.

The Cobra/explorer/gt40 are basically the same intake. Cobra/Explorer are just cast (cheaper) versions of the gt40.
They are entry level performance intakes. You will still pick up power by bolting one on. About 10 hp, and it is a top end gain, maybe not the best in a Jeep. The heads on a 302 are the key to power. The stock roller h.o. cam can make good power and better torque. Sleeper too.
